Coconut oil has been called the healthiest dietary oil on earth. Coconut oil has a miriad of well documented health benefits. In our home we choose only ever use coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil for cooking. Not only does coconut oil add great flavour, it is anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal ! Coconut oil is unique in its ability to prevent weight-gain or help cure obesity, by stimulating the metabolism. It does not increase blood cholesterol levels. Coconut oil's saturated fat is of the medium-chain fatty acid variety. These MCFAs are digested more easily and utilized differently by the body than other fats. In short, whereas other fats are stored in the body's cells, the MCFAs in coconut oil are sent directly to the liver where they are immediately converted into energy. So when you eat coconut oil, the body uses it immediately to make energy rather than store it as body fat. Because this quick and easy absorption puts less strain on your pancreas, liver and digestive system, coconut oil "heats up" the metabolic system and is outstanding for those with thyroid problems.

The lauric acid in coconut oil is used by the body to make the same disease-fighting fatty acid derivative monolaurin that babies make from the lauric acid they get from their mothers milk.

Finally, coconut oil contains no dangerous trans-fats, which are found in vegetable oils (including olive oil), margarine, shortening and more. Trans-fats can raise LDLs or "bad" cholesterol levels and lead to clogged arteries, heart disease, type-II diabetes and more, and should be avoided.

Use coconut oil in place of other oils, margarine, butter, shortening, etc. for all cooking needs, as it is a stable cooking oil. It can be used as an ingredient when juicing or making smoothies. It smells and tastes so pleasant and has such excellent nutritional properties that some also consume it straight, by the tablespoon, and use it in place of other oils on their salads. It also makes an excellent massage oil, and as a skin lotion promotes healthier, younger looking skin.
